Learn more- Where's a taxi when you need one? Lee Chamberlin finds out in the episode's opening sketch when she calls for a taxi but ends up getting Morgan Freeman wearing a hat bearing the word "taxi", and he ends up carrying her to her destination - on his back! "Did someone call for a taxi?" asks guest Carol Burnett. The letter T returns as Luis Avalos and Judy Graubart play a game of tic-tac-toe on the wall of their luxurious house... which is covered with tic-tac-toes. Next, Graubart visits Freeman at the lost-and-found to report a missing tot for one last review of the letter T. The next topic is the ending consonant blend FT, featured in the faux game show "I've Got a Secret Sound" in which a panel of four tries to guess the secret sound of Sarah Sanders from Soho (Graubart). Then it's on to the OA team as mother Moreno scolds son Jimmy Boyd for not putting on his coat... even though he's only going to take a shower. Freeman stars in one of his earliest Mad Scientist roles as he creates a "monsteer" (Boyd) that will "stire" the hearts of men and make blood "cure-dle". The monster has to correct him on the "er" sounds, giving viewers a reminder of the sounds of ER, IR, and UR. The ER sound pops up again in the word "slippery", which will hopefully save the Message Man from falling into a mop bucket! The Very Short Book of the day is Humpty Dumpty, who ends up getting turned into scrambled eggs by all the king's horses and men. After that, Crank (Boyd) complains, "I bought me a very short book and the pictures ain't moved even once!" Finally, Love of Chair sees the boy (Skip Hinnant) walk to the door and wind up hitting the wall.
Tune in next time as Brenda tells Mark, "It was my fault".
